Northumberland and Durham Championship – Stanley 1935

The 1935 competition was held at the New Victoria theatre, Stanley, Co Durham on Saturday 29th June 1935. Prior to the event there was considerable interest in the local press, reports being made of the entry into the competition of Jimmy Ellwood and Warren Doyle and also a photograph of the organisers with the championship belt. There had been heats at each performance at the theatre during the week, the dancers being as set out below.

In addition to the above, Maud Beaney and Madge Humble were given in the entries list but do not seem to have actually competed. Some doubt attaches to the identity of one of the Misses Luke as her name is given in the list of entries as Eva Luke, and the list of dancers as L. Luke.
